Today was Ohio State football’s pro day, and if you are into these types of things, it was a hoot to watch. We saw some guys show off some pretty amazing feats of athletic endeavors, and that includes one Mr. Justin Fields.
Since the season ended, many experts and analysts have overanalyzed and scrutinized a lot of things about Fields’ game. From his decision-making, the reading of progressions, and arm strength, the criticism has been non-stop. And look, when you are expected to go in the first round as the face of a franchise, it just comes with the territory.
Fields pushed back on some of those comments with his performance at Ohio State’s pro day today. Perhaps no other throw drew more praise and wonderment than the last throw of the day he made. The former Heisman finalist rolled to his left, squared his body up, and threw off-balance nearly 65 yards in the air, right in the breadbasket of the receiver for a drop the mic moment.
If you haven’t seen it, it’s pretty amazing and rivals the throw that seemed to break the internet that BYU’s Zach Wilson made during his pro day workout. It’s worth a look and re-look several times and we’re bringing it to you thanks to video shared by the NFL Twitter account.

Yikes. We don’t blame you if you pull this up and play it on repeat. Some human beings are just made different. This is strength, skill, and athleticism all rolled into one.
